Cavern of Transcendence race + GM hunt on 29/04

Hi All

This time it's a race to see which team can complete the Cavern of Transcendence trial first. The cavern trial is levels 12-15 and requires a minimum team size of 8. This race will be taking place on Tuesday, 29th April meeting at the TF contact in the Hollows @ 8:00pm. I've managed to complete this trial in 14 mins so it will be good to see if this personal record can be broken. This trial can be a nightmare since it's pre-stamina and the magma lords and lava pools can quickly destroy a team. It can however be ghosted really quickly if a team is well organised and has a toon with invisibility/stealth and recall friend.

Link to trial details......

Since this trial requires the contact to be unlocked by completing the Hollows story arc we will need team leaders who have already done this. I'll be playing Draconian Blade my Katana/SR scrapper who has the trial contact unlocked. So I need at least one other volunteer who has access to the trial and is willing to lead a team. We need a minimum of 16 players to get two teams together. It would be great if we could have more.

If you are planning to join the trial race please sign up on this thread before hand letting me know the toon (or possible toons) you are proposing to play along with their powersets and whether they have invis/stealth IOs and recall friend/team TP powers. This will assist me in trying to work out balanced teams in advance and will enable us to get the event underway as quickly as possible.

All going well the trial should be finished quickly so following this I was proposing to do a good old fashioned GM hunt:

Perez Park - Kraken
King Row - Paladin (and look in hope for a Paladin build spawn)
Boomtown - Babbage
Independence Port - Lusca
Dark Astoria - Adamastor
Croatoa - Eochai, Jack in Irons & Sally
Crey's Folly - Jurassik

So if you want to join us for the Cavern trial and/or the GM hunt please sign up in the thread below.........

Hey Sarg,

I am willing to offer up my WS again (though others may shy from my team this time)
I have the contact unlocked, with stealth (not invis though) and recall at this level. So would be happy to lead another team, should we get enough others.

Sign me up with Chisel (50 Dark/Dark Defender). I think I may have PvE stealth at level 14 from combined SS and Shadow Fall, but wont have recall friend. However I can try and pick up the group recall temp if required.

3). Clawd playing War Jay lvl 35? WS (has stealth + recall friend @ lvl 14) *

count me in, I'd like it on my stone tank(ruby flame), don't think she has stealth, invis or tp.. and can't remember whether she has the contact open, but it sounds like you have enough people with the contact open anyways. if you need a different character, then I can swap

I must admit Sarg,

That Personal Best was done with an Illusion troller with TP.

I remember doing a respec while on this Trial before using the /respec command & giving Xtream TP

Oh SchrodingersCat is a Level 50 Rad/Rad/Elec (like the elec comes into it)

Am being rewired next week so I might not have power, if I don't I wont make it, but I can let Evil Bob know at least cause we know each other in the real world place.

Ruby Flame is a Stone/Fire tank btw

Hi Kinergy and GullyTT, welcome to the fun again

Assuming The_Phantoms is OK to help out we still need 6 more players to be able to field two teams for this race. Can everyone please /t their on-line mates and SG buddies to try and stir up some interest in the event. No doubt we'll be able to recruit some players via the global channels on the night, but it would be nice to get the teams sorted out in advance so we get the race underway as soon as possible.

Updated player roster below:

1). Me playing Draconian Blade lvl 34 kat/SR scrapper *
2). Eiceman playing Eiceman lvl ?Ice/SS tank * or Xeron lvl? rad/rad defender
3). Clawd playing Clawd Butcher lvl 50 claws/regen scrapper
4). Chisel playing Chisel lvl 50 dark/dark defender (has stealth @ lvl 14)
5). Xtream playing Xtream Justice lvl 50 PB
6). Cynic playing SchrodingersCat lvl 50 rad/rad defender (has recall friend @ lvl 14 and stealth IO in sprint)
7). Evil_Bob playing Ruby Flame lvl ? stone/fire tank or another toon if required
8). Kinergy playing Prickley lvl 50 spines/regen scrapper (has stealth IO & superspeed @ lvl 14)
9). GullyTT playing ? Lvl 34 empath/? Defender (has stealth & recall friend @ lvl 14)

Reserves:
1). The_Phantoms playing Phantom Blue lvl 50 Ill/sonic controller

* Has trial contact unlocked.

So far no one has expressed an interest in the GM hunt afterward. It would be nice to get a rough idea on numbers for this. Let me know if you fancy kicking the big boys butts

May as well count me in for the GM hunt as well.

Might change char for that though, not sure.

I'd be game for the GM hunt afterwards, might change my toon though to something a little more stronger than a Tank, if he's not needed

Will try to be there for the GM hunt

Will be bringing my lvl 50 Grav/Rad along plus two others. I will SK one of them but the other will need SKing

I know that Jurasik is in Crey so there's a lvl limit. can i ask that the GM's that ARE in such zones be left til last, so that lower lvls can take part? Or is it only Jurasik? Can't think of another. :s

Hi The_Fish

All three of you are welcome to join us for the GM hunt. I can assist by SK'ing your buddy for the fights, although I don't have recall friend to help with getting them around the zones, although I'm sure someone on the team will be able to oblige.

A number of the GMs are found in hazard zones which have level entry restrictions namely:

Perez Park (min lvl 7) - Kraken
Boomtown (min lvl 11) - Babbage
Dark Astoria (min lvl 21) - Adamastor
Crey's Folly (min lvl 30) - Jurassik

What level are your cohorts? My proposal was to hit the zones in the order listed in my original post so we would be going to Crey's Folly last. If you would prefer we could go to Dark Astoria before Croatoa if they are less than lvl 21.
